I can't find the option to pause syncing. Can you help?

When I click on profile photo in desktop app I do not get the pause sync option

I cannot find it either. I am using the mac, and the dropbox desktop. It uses to be a pause option under my personal picture.

    Hi C. Wei-Bin, you can still pause by clicking the Dropbox icon near the clock, then the avatar on the top right and 'Pause syncing'.

     

    You can also click the message on the bottom left, where it should say 'Up to date' and it will pause syncing.
